    When someone dies it is sad. When someone dies violently it is a Kodak moment.
    CD: The Dead Shall Dead Remain   Label: Necropolis Records
    Credits: Music: Sean McGrath and Leon del Muerte / Lyrics: Sean McGrath and Ross Sewage

    Story Behind the Song
    First, there's the forensic photographer... a person required to take photos of crime scenes and murder victims for evidence and to preserve a scene of violence. Then there's the gorenographer... someone who does it for fun. This song is partially dedicated to Joel-Peter Witkin, the most brilliant of all gorenographers.

    Lyrics
    Latent images in solutions submerged
    A gallery of gore for posterity preserved
    Your visage shall endure long after you've been laid to rest
    Immortalized in celluloid as record of your death

    A recremental work of art
    Artuated straight from the heart
    Your destiny is black and white
    A grisly study in still life
    A kalopsic collage is your patchwork grave
    The cutting room floor is where you spend your last days
    Anonymous atrocities, my subjects are the dead
    An amateur gorenographer cutting off heads

    Glistening gralloch, a zoetrope of rot
    Exenterated torsos coacervate and clot
    Veristic works of art are developed and displayed
    Decomposed and posed as I prepare another plate

    On my nefandous noctuary I diligently toil
    For a carcass exfodiated from hallowed soil
    An axunge prepared to grease the gears
    Lacking my wit, kin may shed tears
    Cohesive structure is what you lack
    A poultice of plaster will fill in the cracks
    Sculptures in flesh are my medium du jour
    Your puniceous effigy I faithfully restore

    Abdomen is spliced and the lighting is set
    I'll develop your roll as my ensanguined subject
    Holes drilled in your skull form a camera obscura
    This document of death will be rather thorough
    My scrapbook of horror is your final epitaph
    Pictures from the after world, a corpse photographed
    Your countenance embossed in silver gelatin
    A gruesome reminder of your untimely end

    A test sheet is used for the final cut
    Through trial and error I make my decision
    The template enlarged to a grainy print
    This excoriated exhibit, my final revision

    (solo: "Welcome to the Bone Room" by L.d. Muerte)
    (solo: "Matted and Framed for Decay" by S.C. McGrath)

    Artistic license I must take
    Depleted bones I'm apt to break

    I strike the set, this shoot is a wrap
    Your casket occluded with residual scraps
    The harvest I find in a moldering crate
    A cadaverous curio with which I create
